Statesman: Those who have looked up
tbe new school laws give it as their opin
ion that things are left in a decidedly bad
way for the school districts in cities af
fected by the new law. The law is now id
effect and provides that some notice
should have been given on February 1st,
to make the assessment valid. Of course
this notice cannot now be given and there
is no possibility of making vibe assess
ment by the time required, so there can
"be no levy lor i-cbool purposes this year,
they sav, which will leave tbe. districts
without funds or authority to contract in
debtedness on bonds.
The editor of tbe Prineville Mews is a
wit,and tbe following from bis pen would
lie no disparagement to the genius ol
Mark Twain: "There is a barn in Prine
ville that leans away over 'towards Wig
ginses' wi.h a yearning' sort of a lean like
a tired soul reaching for eternity. 8on.e
day when tbe wind blows hard and a
town cow gets behind tbe barn for shel
ter, she will think a clam shell h3S shut
on her or that rn overgrown cheese box
has gathered her in. We don't know who
owns the barn, but be or she, as the case
may be, should give it a new start in the
'straight and narrow way.' "
The following bit of nninor is from tbe
columns of the Prineville Hews: "Tbe
town cows held a convention on the flat
near the school bouse last Sunday after
noon. Ex-Mayor Belknap's yellow cow
with a black head presided, and 'Bossy
News' acted as secrelar,- of tbe meeting.
Solemn conclave was had until about 4
f. M.', when tbe convention adjourned,
alter adoption of the following: Kesolved,
that tbe absence cf the hay hauler, with
his loads of bright green alfalfa, is work
in e serious hardship upon our profes-doi.
aud, therefore, it is w lth feelings of jo
that we greet the warm cays which
hasten 'he harvest time, when we again
may fill onr vests with Lay from the
farmer's wagon while be neglects to 'whip
behind.'" . .

Pendleton Tribune: The editor of the
Morning Democrat, in urging the claims of
B.ker City for the location of tbe branch
insane asylum, should not forget that Baker
county bad a golden opportunity to help
Eistern Oregon in the legislature by assist
ing the portage railroad bill, but she gave
that important measure a black eye by vot
ing against it in the seuate. If Biker
county has a few more officials like Senator
Du'tsou aud tbe distinguished district at
torney, she would always get what she was
really entitled to, and that is well we
won't s y what guess. But we will tell
you now, it is not the asylum
East Oreaonian: Figures taken from the
bonks of the W. & C. R. Railway Com
pany's road, show that the amount of wh at
carried in 1892, was very much below that
carried during previous years. From Pen
dleton, Athena, and intermediate points in
1890, the amount wa 81,000 tons; iu
1S91, it was 91 000 tons; while io 1892 it
drooped to 61.000 tons. Thi, was not due
to tins road losiug nusiuess to otuer
toads, but to the falling -off "in the yield.
At an average of 48 cents per bushel for the
30,000 tons shortage, and a .loss of 25 cents
per bushel on grain raised, by reason of the
low price of wheat, it amounts to a ronud
million dollars loss to the people of Umatilla
county, beside tbe loss to. tne railroad com
pany. This is the wav in which the Wasco News
speaks of a disgraceful affair which hap
pened at that town a few days since:
"There are several youDg 'bloods' about the
city that are evidently afraid that Oregon
will not have convicts enough to operate
the new jute bag factory. If those boys
who swiped the freizer of ice cream from
the school ball last Friday evening will call
on those who bad charge of the entertain
ment, tbey will be given all the ice cream
they desire without stealing it. Tnis is one
of the meanest, most contemptible, perni
cious things that a young man can be guilty
of. It places them even lower than the
moot uupriucipled vagabond that languishes
within the darkened cells. This, however,

Albany Democrat.
A dispatch, dated Feb. 25tb, in the San
Francisco Chronicle, is of great importance.
It reads:
. Henry Wood and E. C. M. Rand, the
railway experts employed by the bond
holders' committee of the Oregon Pacific
Railway to examine tbe" property atid eUurr.
of the company,, have submitted their re
port. The experts estimate that the pres
ent value of tii property of the Oreg n Pa
cific is SI, 500,000. They charge wasteful
management and extravagance in construc
tion. They were unable to determine tbo
ua'ure of the relations between the Oregon
Development Company and the Oregon Pa
cific, except . that the two companies are
Tinder the same management. - They think
that under caieful management the value of
the property could be largely increased.
The joint report is supplemented by a
statement from Expert Rind in which he
s lys that between $350,000 and $400,000 of
receiyer's certificates haye been issued which
sre invalid. He advises that the road be
exteuded to Boise City on the east aud that
a line be built from Albany northward to
Portland, thence over tbe ridge arid along
the coast to tbe harbor of Astoria.
An address haa been issued by the com
mittee, asking the bondholders to agree to
an assessment of $150 on each bond, and to
author ze the committee to buy the property
at the sale, which has been fixed for March.

One day last week we published an ac

Observer. The following narticulars of
the tragedy we glean from the Antelope

Tbe home of Joe Elliott, lour miles
northwest of Kent, Sherman county, Was
a scene of considerable excitement on
Tuesday night of last week, and it re
sulted in the death of ao old man named
John Kennafick. A gallon of whisky
was brought up from Jim Tomliu's saloon
at Moro, aud on the above night John
Kennafick. Al Hembree and Joe Elliott
assembled at the latter's house to have
"time." Tbey sat down to a game of
cards, but when whisky got to be master
ot tbe situation a dispute arose over the
cards which was followed "by a vigorous

his head to his left eye. It did not seem
to affect Kennafick very much at the
time, and after beiog helped on his horse
he rode of toward his home, three or four
miles away. On the following Thursday
Elliott went over to see how the wounded
man was getting along, but when be got
near the latter's house be found Kenna

Justice Donohu, of Kent, with the follow

and another gentleman, whose name we
were unable to learn. The jury were
sworn to secrecy, therefore fheir verdict
has not been made public. Drs. smith,
of Moro, and Rollins, of Grass Valley,
also examined the corpse and found that
the fractured scalp was filled with clotted
blood. Hembree says be hit Kennafick
with his fis, but Elliott says he was hit
with something briaht-lookiog, but could
not tell what it was. At last account
Hembree had not been arrested. He has
family of a wile and three or four little

Death of a Newspaper.
The Tac ma Neics in speaking of the
demise of tbe Spokane Spokesman s?ys:
"The Spokane Spokesman has called 'thirty.'
After a long fight for life the Spokesman
gives up the ghost and the Jleview takes
possession of the corpse. There is always
something of a tragedy in such a death. A
newspaper i a verv human institution and
it dies a human death. It has an individu
ality, a character and a following; it has
friends and enemies, people who swear by it
and people who curse it; it has done harm
aud has done good; it bas been treated with
ingratitude by politiciaus whom it bas made
and business men whom it has preserved
from bankruptcy; it bas followed faithfully
to 1 nes of poli jy which were opposed to its
financial interest and bas been looked oh
with suspicion even when it sought to do
something for tbe general good; it is more
easily reached by friendship and rrore hon
estly independent of capital than most
men yet it is thought heartless aod cor
rupt; it is forced to t e partisan on questions
which involve its very life and on which
men of policy remain close as clams; it is
forced to lose money for the sake ot an nn
appreciative community; it enlarges and
spreads when times aro good and it dare not
retrench when retrenchment becomes neces
sary lest it injnre the town;' it often eulo
gizes those who injure it and bears the em
barassment of burdensome friends; it is ex
pected to have no feeling but duty and no
desire but the prosperity of everybody else;
if it thinks thiougb its pocket book, as
men do, it is calle'd dishonest; if it espouses
an unpopular cause it is moved by some
hidden and selGsh motive, and if it refusea
to do so it lacks in courage; its life is one
Ion fight, bittter, intense and fierce aod no
one can tell when it will die for no one can
see when more formidable antagonist will
come upon the field." ' -

Editor Trjus-UotniTAiima:
Pleaie state locally on my authority.
tbat the Oregon Land, Irrigation, Lumber
and Fuel Co. does pot owe -one single dollar
either to farmers at Wapinitia, or to any
one anywhere. The recent "white cap" aod
"bomb-throwing" referred to in your paper
was only a huge practical joke of tbe young
men in that locality, and it was carried a
little too far, the winter being long and
nothing, else to do. Tbe farmers are all
friendly to tbe ditch company.
Geo. VV. McCot.
Doesn't "look",
as she ought the
weak, nervous
and ailing wo
man. As long as
she suffers from
the aches, pains.
and derangements
peculiar to ner
sex, she cant ex
pect to. '
But there's only
neraeir to blame.
With Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, she's
a dilrerent woman. Ana it's a cnange tnat can
be seen as well as felt. The system is invigor
ated, tbe blood enncned, digestion improved,
melancholy and nervousness dispelled.
With the " Favorite Prescription," all the
proper functions are restored to neaitny
action. Periodical pains, weak back, bearing-down
sensations, nervous prostration, all
" female complaints " are cured by it It's
tbe only medicine for woman's weaknesses
and ailments that's guaranteed to do what is
claimed for it If it doesn't give satisfaction,
in every case for which it's recommended,
tbe money is returned.
